On July 4, 2017, DUSU or Delhi University Students’ Union has demanded the varsity either to promote all B.Com students who had failed in the practical exam of computer applications or hold a re-examination. Final year B.Com students of various DU colleges claimed that they were misinformed with regard to the pass marks of practical examination. As a result, around 300 students failed in the examination.
Students claimed that the authorities did not inform that 16 was the pass marks in the practical examination. Students were of the idea that the aggregate of 40 marks in internals, theory and practical was enough to clear the examination.
